Beyonce’s ‘Countdown’ Video Preview

Frankly, between us, after all of the organized chaos, the backbreaking choreography, the wallet-stealing and the wild hyenas of Beyoncé’s “Run The World (Girls) video,” I needed a little breather, you know? Fortunately it looks like Beyoncé‘s serving up — or rather, counting down — a little sweetness and light in the sneak peek of her new “Countdown” video, which premieres Thursday, Oct. 6 at 7:56 p.m. on MTV and MTV.com

From the “Countdown” video sneak peek, we can surmise that Beyoncé’s been watching a little “Funny Face” since she’s channeling her inner Audrey Hepburn in the classic black turtleneck/slim-fit cigarette pants Audrey made instantly iconic. (Also, pumpkin-colored nails, WHUT?) Yes, Beyoncé can look impeccable in just a black turtleneck, black pants and white socks. But you knew that.

Beyoncé turns into a human clock behind a classic 1960s psychedelic, black-and-white-striped background, then a human art gallery as she morphs into a series of Lichtenstein girls come to life in primary-colored bathing suits. All this before “Countdown,” which samples Boyz II Men’s “Uhh Ahh,” starts referencing The Beatles’ “A Hard Day’s Night” split-screen motifs. We’ll take it because it means more Beyoncés to go around. Seriously, we will watch Beyoncé doing ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING if that’s not already clear.

Oh, and did we mention that Beyoncé’s totally, adorably, pregnant in “Countdown”? Because she and Jay totally made good on that “I’m tryna make us 3/From that 2″ lyric. (That baby isn’t even born yet, and it’s already a 10.)
